10 minStraight from the land down under, this breezy pasta salad is as no-fuss as an Aussie barbecue spread.
Elbow macaroni gets tossed with crisp green beans, red bell pepper, celery, and shallots, all bound lightly with fat-free mayo. Served on a bed of shredded lettuce, it’s fresh, crunchy, and ready in about 10 minutes.
It’s the kind of salad you whip up when you need a side dish that travels well and tastes just as good cold from the fridge as it does fresh.
Variations
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar for brightness.
- Toss in diced cucumber or halved cherry tomatoes for extra color and crunch.
- Mix in a teaspoon of curry powder for a subtle warmth that plays well with the veggies.
